In the last 10 years we saw:
Holyfield upset Tyson, Tyson bite Holyfields ear, Lennox Lewis unify the heavyweight championship, Rachman upset Lewis, and Vitali and Lewis fight an unexpected war.

It has only been since Lewis retired that the division has weakened.

in some degree yes, that's correct it was when Lewis left the scene when the decline really started, but somebody has to step up don't you think?
